Had to buy a new work truck Login/Join

I just bought this new 2024 F250 extended cab, long bed 4X4 with a gas 6.8. My other truck with a Powerstroke started smoking like a freight train and supposedly needs new injectors. This is the cheapest truck I could find in this configuration. Fortunately, all of the doors close correctly and the panels are aligned.

That's beautiful! I didn't think they made two door trucks anymore.

Nice looking truck!

I had no idea Ford made the 6.8 gas, had to go look it up. Hopefully it's like my 6.2, and still going strong after 200k miles.

2 doors. Vinyl seats. Rubber floor mat. 6.8/10 spd.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Exactly what I want, except it's about 25 years too new. I don't want to pay for all the gadgets I don't need.
98 percent I'm by myself, why do I need 4 doors? I want a longer bed.

Nice truck Sup. Glad the doors close and the body alignment is good. Wink

It looks like an XL with chrome package. I have not seen one with vinyl seats.

Mine turned out to be a bit of a disaster. Still working through the process. Next week I hope to report back with a positive outcome.

I like the roof lights Big Grin

Assuming that configuration is an 8' bed.

What is your phone holder?

Congrats. That should be a solid work rig for you.

It is a Ram Mount. It works great.

Yes, it is an eight foot bed. I needed the standard size bed to hold 4X8 turf protection mats.

That's almost the perfect RV towing truck for me. Hope it wasn't too expensive.

There is a phone mount that attaches to a panel on the dash...to remove the suction cup bar obstruction. https://builtrightind.com/prod...250-f-350-f-450-2023

I don't own such a mount but didn't know if you were aware of it.

My first work truck was a little over $6k. 2wd, 8' bed, vinyl seats, rubber floor, crank windows, AM radio, 300ci straight six, 4 speed where first gear was a creeper gear.
Almost 40 years ago, though Wink

No it does not. I have determined that they really don't help when you work them hard. I can buy a whole new bed with tailgate for $1,500.00.
For now, I keep an Alturnamat on the bottom of the bed. It is a sheet of 5/8 inch thick HDPE with a diamond plate type pattern.
